Hebrews 8:4 in Context — Hebrews 8

2 comme ministre du sanctuaire et du véritable tabernacle, qui a été dressé par le Seigneur et non par un homme.

3 Tout souverain sacrificateur est établi pour présenter des offrandes et des sacrifices; d’où il est nécessaire que celui-ci ait aussi quelque chose à présenter.

4 S’il était sur la terre, il ne serait pas même sacrificateur, puisque là sont ceux qui présentent les offrandes selon la loi

5 (lesquels célèbrent un culte, image et ombre des choses célestes, selon que Moïse en fut divinement averti lorsqu’il allait construire le tabernacle: Aie soin, lui fut-il dit, de faire tout d’après le modèle qui t’a été montré sur la montagne).

6 Mais maintenant il a obtenu un ministère d’autant supérieur qu’il est le médiateur d’une alliance plus excellente, qui a été établie sur de meilleures promesses.
